Moroccan Carrot Salad Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Put carrots, garlic, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Add 2 cups water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until carrots are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
• Transfer carrot mixture to a food processor along with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, apricot preserves, lemon juice, sesame oil, coriander, and cayenne. Process until almost smooth.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice into 1/2-inch coins.
• In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, harissa, garlic, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Toss with the carrots to coat, then toss with the cilantro and parsley. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve warm or at room temp, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Cook the chopped carrot and garlic in simmering, salted water, for about 20 minutes or until soft.
• Drain well, then return them to the hot, dry pan for a minute or two, over medium heat, to dry them out further.
• Tip the carrots and garlic into the food processor bowl, and process until smooth.
• Add the cumin, paprika, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, sea salt, honey and lemon juice and whizz again.
• With the machine still running, add the olive oil gradually.
• Allow to cool.
• Spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, scatter with olives and cilantro leaves, and serve with lightly warmed flat bread for dipping.

Steps:

• Put the carrots and garlic in a saucepan with enough water to just cover. Add a little salt and bring to the boil. Simmer briskly for 5-7 minutes until tender but not soft.
• Drain, then tip into a mixing bowl. Crush the garlic cloves and add them to the carrots. Stir in the oil, vinegar, cumin, paprika and 1 tablespoon of the cilantro while still hot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle over the rest of the cilantro. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature depending on what you're serving with it.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until they begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, coriander, cumin, ginger, chili powder and cinnamon and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Off the heat, mash the carrots with a potato masher, leaving a few coarse pieces for texture. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and vinegar. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until the dip is chilled, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with the cilantro before serving. The dip can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Season with additional vinegar, salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with the cilantro before serving.
